Image
Eclectic Alley Mia Titilayo, a whirlwind of energy and ambition, pulsated through Lagos like its electric heartbeat.  With a whip-smart business degree and a side hustle designing vibrant Ankara prints, she dreamt of breaking free from her cramped family apartment and owning a slice of the bustling city.

Image
  We've explored the challenges of homeownership in Nigeria, but let's turn the lens around today and examine the often-overlooked downsides of its alternative: renting.   While the thought of avoiding construction woes and paperwork mountains might seem alluring, the reality of life as a tenant holds hidden costs that can quietly chip away at your dreams.   The Financial Drain : Rent, the ever-hungry beast, is the most obvious cost.   But it's not static.
